I have been shooting film recently but these are digital. I think the biggest factor is nothing to do with me, it's the mid-winter light here in Valencia - the past couple of weeks have been sunny but with a softer quality to the light thanks to some light, wispy cloud diffusing it very slightly. I did also spend a bit of time recently making new presets in Lightroom to get a look that I was happier with and better suited my work as it is now without relying too much on visual crutches as I did in the past. I can share the settings if you're interested - there's nothing groundbreaking, in fact I wanted to stick to simple settings and not too extreme numbers.

I'm happy to apportion a big part of it to the local light. I wouldn't mind a slightly simpler PP routine myself, but I'm happy with the results from this latest round of tinkering and if you're happy too then we're all good for now. Happy days.
